Item Description
The ninja often had to be ready to traverse over any and all terrain. These metal strips with a spiked edge were tied to the bottom of the Ninja's tabi boots in order to gain better grip over rough or slippery terrain. If you think of today's athletes, this would correspond to their spike shoes. Also known as ninja ashiko foot spikes, this traditional ninja climbing tool also aided in climbing, scaling and ice-walking. Often used with the shuko ninja hand claws, the ninja foot spikes are made of black heavy-duty steel, and comes with laced closure to be secured under the ninja tabi boots.
The ninja arose from Japanese history and is also known as "shinobi. The first account of a Ninja's existence was during the 14th century of feudal Japanese history. Specially trained in assassination, illusion, and espionage, the Ninja's Japanese name, Shinobi, fits with that description, originally meaning "to steal away." Furthermore, to practice Ninjutsu means to practice "the art of stealth."
